Answer 1

# Program is written in python

# 22.1 Using the count method, find the number of occurrences of the character 's' in the string 'mississippi'.

# initializing string

Stringtocheck = "mississippi"

# using count() to get count of s

counter = Stringtocheck.count('s')

# printing result

print ("Count of s is : " + str(counter))

# 2.2 In the string 'mississippi', replace all occurrences of the substring 'iss' with 'ox

# Here, we'll make use of replace() method

# Prints the string by replacing iss by ox

print(Stringtocheck.replace("iss", "ox"))

#2.3 Find the index of the first occurrence of 'p' in 'mississippi'

# declare substring

substring = 'p'

# Find index

index = Stringtocheck.find(substring)

# Print index

print(index)

# End of program
